      "While it’s possible that all of the attackers were, indeed, immigrants or asylum-seekers, the everyday atmosphere in Cologne (and other German cities) might suggest otherwise. One activist told German news outlet Deutsche Welle that women have been putting up with street harassment and sexual assaults since long before the refugee crisis began:
      “Because refugees are now a burning topic, the media all of a sudden report about these events, but what nobody wants to admit is that these things happen all the time. I’m sorry to break this to you, but German-born men also harass and rape.”"

    Yeah, Ned Kelly was harrassed his whole life by rich land owners, and corrupt officials, in my opinion, Ned Kelly was a working man who's had enough. He was a criminal there is no denying that, but only when all other avenues in life were blocked by the corrupt. A man can only get stepped on so many times before he steps back, at least that's my opinion.

The only people that were trodden on was Kelly's victims who he abused terribly. Kelly complained about the police who were rightly investigating his stealing of 280 horses.

    And this is why you don't push a normally good person until they runs out of options, because at some point, they will snap and things will go VERY VERY VERY bad for everyone involved.
    Because someone who has always leaned bad will gloat and flaunt and eventually get caught or betrayed. A good man turned bad is a lot less likely to end up like that.
    You REALLY don't want to push a good man to their breaking point, it's not pretty.

At least that's what I can glean from it, it's my first time hearing of this myself.

      Yeah, Ned Kelly in Australia is almost always treated as a heroic figure, or at best told in a somewhat balanced manner.
      Very few cast him as an outright villain.
      Robin hood is an apt comparison in terms of legend. I wouldn't say Ned Kelly had any of the grandiose noble aims that are attributed to Robin Hood, but it's more in how the stories are told, rather than the details that makes them seem like similar figures.

    So a bit of background about what's going on here. Why are they such jerks to the Kelly's (aside from the fact they're poor)? Because at this time in Britain and her colonies there's this belief that criminality isn't a choice as much as it's natural and instinctive, you inherit it from your parents. Here's Ned Kelly son of that thief Red, right? Makes sense that he's a thief too, or at least in this view. In fact so prevalent is this belief it's one of the reasons they colonized Australia, they wanted a place to ship all these criminals away from Britain to clean up the gene pool so to say. It's better than killing them outright right?

      This is very true even today. Where a person out of jail tries to live an honest life but with his criminal record he can't find work and if he did its hardly sustainable. So in order to survive they have to go back to their life of crime. The only ones I know that have beaten this catch 22 were people with a very good skill (e.g. electrician) set and even then they have to work much harder in order to keep their job.

      You want to know what a bad person looks like? look at someone when they both have power, and when they have none, and see what they do in both situations. Take into account the situations and culture they find themselves in before judging actions.
      If you ask me Ned Kelly broke under the weight of an unjust system and did some horrible things as a result, but at least managed to maintain some dignity towards the end from what little I've read. Ned Kelly was no hero, but under the circumstances I can't judge him as being a "bad" person.

It was just you and a wall of feathers anywhere you went. Crazed, those birds. Crazed. It was like Hitchcock meets Zulu and I was Michael Caine. So does it matter? Does that suicide mission dressed up as a war matter to farmers now? Why don't you ask the boys, from farm hand owner, whose souls went back to the Lord on the field at Campion.

He knew Ned as a kid and, as I've heard it passed down, that Ned was a charming little rascal. Apparently the Kelly family was very hospitable. I've been to the Glenrowan, Greta, Beechworth and all the main places of events from those days. I've seen the grave of the man who shot Ned Kelly during the siege of Glenrowan. The Groundskeeper said that it's funny how many people come from all over Australia to spit on his grave because they claim they're related to the Kelly family, people come from Brisbane, Cairns, Darwin, Perth and even Broome to 'see' the grave.

    • @extrahistory
      @extrahistory  7 лет назад +10

      As an American who is also used to hearing "squatter" associated with poverty, this threw me for a loop as well. ;) In Australia, colonists who arrived early and/or had a lot of money would go out and build ranches on "unclaimed" land. The British Crown considered that land the territory of their government, hence these people were squatting on government land... BUT they also got to build these big ranches before anybody else did, which made them even more rich. By the time the colonial governments in Australia got around to trying to reclaim that land, the squatters had become very well established and successfully fought off (most of) the government's attempts to take their property back. Many felt that they had earned the land by risking their necks to settle it - Australia has always been famous for its deadly wildlife/climate/etc. Eventually, the word "squatter" came to be associated with rich people whether or not they'd earned their property by squatting on it. Look up the "squattocracy" ("squatter aristocracy") if you want to learn more about it!
      NB: All of this is a pretty Euro-centric summary of what "squatters" were. The land they were squatting on belonged to the aboriginal people, which they refused to recognize. -Soraya

    I actually lived in Coburg until recently, where he was held for those three years at the HM Prison Pentridge. It isn't active anymore and one of my friends used to live in the houses they've started making around it, I lived across the street (an incredible long street though) from it. The signs there like to brag about them holding Ned Kelly there and so do my primary (briefly) and high (less briefly) schools that are incredibly close.

    This is very well researched. I look forward t the next episode. People often wonder why we Australians admire Ned Kelly a known "criminal" It's not his actions as a criminal but the hardships he went through even though he tried to do the right thing. Much like the french revolution there is only so much shit people can take while the rich play their games.
